Anyone know what's happening with the R2 UK edition. I keep seeing that there seem to be some featurettes on the disc on some sites and not on others. Plus It's not clear if the extras are present whether it's a 2 discer.

Like Batman Begins: Deluxe Edition... Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a Limited Edition?

Actually, it does. The way they are marketing these, ala Cinderella Man and Jarhead, is to pretty much preorder them because they go out of stock immediately. This insures that you are paying maximum price for them. If they keep issuing them, retailers will eventually discount them.

Good news and bad news. Bad news is that demand for the "Munich" Limited Edition exceeded Universal's supply. That is why the stock is currently out of print. No need to worry, according to Digitalbits.com, the Limited Edition will be back on shelves when Universal make more later this year.

Here... Speaking of Universal, we've been getting reports from readers that the studio's Munich: Limited Edition is MIA in stores. Indeed, it seems no longer to be available from Amazon.com. We've got inquiries into the studio as to what's up with the release and we'll let you know when they get back to us. You can, however, still widely find the movie-only version in stores (and online) if you prefer it. [Editor's Note: We've learned that the 2-disc version hasn't been cancelled and it isn't defective.

I can back that. I phoned the HMV and they said that it was, and I quote the person on the phone "Discontinued in Canada, we can't order any, They must've changed their minds." I love it, we can't get our covers the way we like 'em, we can't get the editions we want. What next? CanaDVDa, the Canadian DVD experience, eh.

Well, I'm sorry for that last rant, just thought I would let my fellow Canadians know.

I have to say that I'm not too impressed by the Cinderella Man, Jarhead, and Munich trio as a rare set. I've seen 2 of the 3 (the missing one being Munich) at my Best Buy just yesterday on the shelves. Now if you told me you had Transformers The Movie....

I hate to brag too, but I have all three of Cinderella Man CE, Jarhead 2 disc CE, and Munich 2 disc LE. Living in the city that I do, I must be lucky, dvds don't sell out to fast. Heck, my BB still has two copies of the Cinderella Man CE in stock. I even have them all three together on the shelf in a row

Coming from Universal, I am not surprise. It started as far back as when they release a limited edition of The Mummy with DTS track. Munich: LE was shipped today!!

So now I have all, Cinderella Man: Collector's Edition, Jarhead: Collector's Edition and now Munich: Limited Edition

So incase, one day i'm running out of money, putting all 3 on eBay would do me justice then lol

Go Digipak and Limited Edition!! I think the fact that they're rare made those much more 'collectable' !!!

I guess they are starting to figure out that genuinely limited releases bring an element of quality - they sell quickly and at a full preorder price (means distributor makes loads, retailer makes next to nothing).

It's one of the reasons I have only purposely bought limited editions from Korean and Hong Kong retailers where distributors regularly do runs of a couple of thousand. I often see these sorts of titles going on ebay for several times their original value.

I'd take DVD Empire with a grain of salt. Several times, I have tried to order discs that were either out of print or going out of print from them and they always reported "On Order" (like they currently are for the 2 disc Munich set) and they never filled the orders. I am not sure why they do this, as they don't charge you for it. You won't lose anything, but are not very likely to get the DVD either.
